The 2 Most OVERLOOKED Pitching Mechanics (That could be costing you 5+ MPH of Pitching Velocity!) 

You’re the man!

Thank you Gram! Great to be back! I stopped drinking coffe but had to get the big one before I shot this 😜

Thanks Steve! You too!

Yessir! Thank you.

Thanks Lucas

You got it! Will do! 👊😉

Thanks brotha.

I was thinking that too!

YouGoProBaseball, how many pounds did u lose?

@@crisyboiboi9380 probably about 30 or so

YouGoProBaseball, gosh that’s a lot congrats also can you please do a breakdown or video on release points for different pitches because I struggle on that, thanks

Also can you do a in depth video on the Vulcan change up and what I can do to make it slower. Right now I throw it four different ways because it changes speed and direction on each one. Basically to grips that move like a splitter and two grips that move like a change up but I’m struggling to try and throw it like a change up. If you could comment or make a video that would be so nice.

@@seanwick1464 for sure, will do.

👊😉

Thank you 🙏🏻

Just shot about 35 new vids for ya! Coming soon!

I sure can! 👊😉

YouGoProBaseball can you also make a video on drills for glove side/contralateral tilt. Thank you

Thanks. I didn’t have much going on during lockdown so I guess it kept me away from the fast food. Let me know if I can do anything to help the boys.

@@YouGoPro Way to go man! I really appreciate that.

Thanks Rodger!!

You're welcome. Exactly what I have been looking for, for Mav.

🤣 just being honest 🤷‍♂️😜

Thank you brotha! 👊😉

All of them! Just get in the gym and get some momentum going to where it becomes a habit and you NEED to get a workout in for the day. Once you get obsessed with it, then you can get more specific with your training. You got this! 👊😉 and welcome to the channel.

👊😉

You’re welcome

Depends on how much throwing you’re doing. You don’t want to throw so much that your arm gets sore, tired, or tight. And if it does, you need to recover before you throw again.

@@YouGoPro thanks for the info

It’s different for everyone but what I’ve noticed is it take only 1 “ah-ha” moment and then you get your reps in for consistency. Most guys get that “ah-ha” moment the first time on the King of the Hill ugoprobaseball.com/product/king-of-the-hill-pitchers-leg-drive-trainer/

@@YouGoPro so say I buy it today, do you know how long shipping will be? I live in GA.

@@clarkkent8685 about a week

Thanks! Good to be back!

🙌

Where do you think that is?

Naw, just trying to eat better and working out less. Thanks though

So much!

Yes, slimmed down a bit during lockdown, thanks.

A lil bit 👊😉

It must be cool to live in your mom’s basement and make youtube comments under a fake name that you’d never say to someone’s face and not even elaborate or offer anything constructive to the discussion. 😉

@@YouGoPro whuahahaha you used the comeback before whuhahaha.

Why are you even watching the video then?

So many mistakes

@@simontroll6471 care to elaborate?...

YouGoProBaseball I’m not going to go over your “front leg fulcrum” piece at first because I’m seeing some key issues with what you’re stating in your “angled corkscrew” statement, and I want to focus on this. Now many people would love this argument: it’s new, it’s not super conventional, and it’s decently easy to understand. Although, it doesn’t maximize the use of GPE(gravitational potential energy), which is key in maximizing KE(Kinetic Energy) later for the “fulcrum” to transfer out. You see, when you state you should not hold external rotation in the back femur, you are not delaying the transfer of GPE, you’re prematurely transferring it. Now Your argument against external rotation just doesn’t make sense. This whole “gripping” the rubber with your foot thing will do nothing if your not stable with the knee and hip first; the foot is dependent on the major joints it’s attached to, not oppositely so-you have to hold external rotation before you extend into front foot strike. Finally, the whole “counter momentum” argument doesn’t make anyyyy sense. Momentum is mass* velocity, and it would be stomping on the graves of mechanical physicists to say we are countering momentum by activating our glutes in a mere baseball pitch. Now I think what you’re doing here is great: it’s new thinking, but it’s still incorrect. Consult a scientist before creating new pitching mechanics please, I really want to see baseball revolutionize, and we won’t see that happen with this verbiage throw around.

@@simontroll6471 you should have led with this so we could discuss but as your name suggests, I guess trolling gets you going. So I’ll play along... When did I argue against holding external rotation in the back femur? In fact, that’s what I’m promoting in this video. The only thing that differs in what I’m saying from those who also teach “this” is that the pitcher should have good mobility in order to not be “stacked” over their backside so they can maintain the angle down the mound as opposed to killing their momentum and reaching or stepping with their front leg. I also agree you should be stable with your knee and hip too. The gripping of the ground is an easy way for pitchers to understand what it feels like (I coach from my experience and try to explain the visceral feelings I had when pitching well). Try explaining GPE and KE to a young athlete and see how many can grasp what you’re talking about. Lastly, on “counter momentum”...I also agree with you 😮 maybe a better way for me to say it would be “killing momentum” or “starting momentum too late”. As a guy who’s just up there free styling off the top of my head, sometimes I don’t explain myself as well as I should. I am not a scientist. Nor do I believe I have all the answers. I’m just a guy who’s trying to share what he’s learned and experienced over time through a RU-vid video to try to help some pitchers and coaches. If you have the answers to everything pitching you should start a youtube channel or blog. Put yourself out there. Be vulnerable. But that doesn’t seem like how you roll. I don’t have time to go back and forth with trolls so I won’t be responding to any more of your comments but you are more than welcome to come on my channel and share your experience and knowledge in a video and we can talk more about it there. Come down to Central Florida anytime and come on video with me...

YouGoProBaseball I absolutely agree. From my perspective, I’ve dealt with a ton of conventionalism with baseball coaches and almost had an injury as a young pitcher-So that’s why I had the uncalled for reason to sound insulting. It was wrong. As to the name, I created when I was much younger. I’m not actually a troll. Just an inspired student, who wants to discover much and learn how to throw correctly, efficiently, and, as many others , FAST! I’ve watched your channel for years, and , after discovering TopVelocity and studying on my own time, applying it, becoming a better athlete, maturing, I’ve developed an approach similar to you both. As a young player, I shouldn’t of come at someone with sound experience with harsh critique.
